3.7 Ribbon Tension Adjustments
(CLP 7201e, 7202e)
The CLP 7201e and 7202e feature an automatic ribbon tensioning system to keep
even tension during a print run.
If you receive a “Ribbon
Out” error message during
normal operation, you may
need to adjust the
tensioning system.
With some specialist
ribbons and occasionally
with narrow width ribbons,
the base level of the ribbon
tensioning system may
need to be adjusted.
Easy-to-slip ribbon and media
Set the feeding section tension adjuster to the
LOW
position.
Especially-easy-to-slip ribbon and media
Should the “Ribbon Out” error still occur, set the
feeding section adjuster to the SUPER LOW
position.
When ribbon is broken during printing
The ribbon may be broken if it is narrow in width
and printhead heat temperature is high. In that
case, set the mark on the feeding section to
SUPER LOW
and set the mark on the winding
section to LOW by turning the adjust-knob and
adjust-screw respectively.
Note: If the problem is still not resolved, please
contact our service personnel.
